ALPHA'S REJECTED OMEGA MATE

CHAPTER THREE

Lyra's POV

I crawled over to my room, feeling dizzy again for the number of times I can't count this week. A sigh escaped my lips as I walked over to my bed, and as I was about to lay on it, I heard Casey's yelling.

"Get yourself down here this instant, Lyra." She yelled, and I tried my best to rush over to her. Alpha Alexis was there with her, and she was sitting on his lap, giggling and busy making out with him as I placed the bowl of soup she asked for right before them.

She pulled away from him and looked down at the bowl with a scoff. She sat comfortably on his lap as she looked at me.

"Were you born stupid, or did you become stupid as you started to grow? When did I start eating fish soup or anything with fish in it? I am allergic to fish, you idiot." She lifted the plate and hit me straight in the face with it, and the last thing I heard was the sound of a plate crash hitting the floor, accompanied by a loud thud, before I blacked out.

I woke up to the sound of beeping machines and a piercing pain in my head. I slowly sat up on the bed, realizing I was in the hospital, and the first person I set my eyes on was Alpha Alexis, who was standing at the door with his arms folded.

"What… What happened to me?" I asked with a weak voice.

"I am very disappointed in you, Lyra." He said, and I looked at him in confusion.

"It's just been less than two weeks since I rejected you as my mate, and you've been going around with another man." He walked over to me and grabbed my chin harshly to look up at him.

"I was right to have rejected you, but still, I can't get it out of my head that you let another man touch you."

"What are you talking about? Get your hands off me." I hit his hand very hard, and he pulled back. He combed his hair back with his fingers, looking at me with disgust.

"Your mate hit me with a bowl of hot soup, and thank goodness I didn't have any burns apart from the scratches on the broken dish."

"How do you think they would feel if I told them your secret and how you have let your uncle down?" He said, and I looked at him in confusion.

"How will you feel when I tell them you are pregnant?" As the word pregnant lingered on his lips, I felt my whole head ring like I'd just been hit. This cannot be happening. I never thought this would even happen at all.

"What… what?" I asked, and he chuckled.

He grabbed me from the bed and pulled me off. All the things connected to my body were yanked oddly as he dragged me out of the room, pushing me right to the front of Alpha Connor, who was coming over with Maia.

"She won't bring a very bad reputation to my pack." He said, and I looked up at him in confusion. "I didn't agree to join my pack with yours because I don't want my beta to have a bad reputation."

"What is he talking about?" I asked with a raised brow.

"I'm sure you haven't heard Uncle will be his beta, and they are merging their packs together." Casey said as she placed her hand on Alpha Alexis's chest. "What did she do to make you angry, sweetheart?"

"She's pregnant." He said, and they all looked at me like I had just murdered someone. I slowly crawled back, trying to escape, but I was unable to go anywhere as Alpha Connor grabbed me angrily.

"How dare you see a man while you are under my roof?" He boomed angrily, and I shook my head gently, tears rolling down my cheeks from the pain I was feeling from his harsh grab.

"Who do you think you are? I have taken care of you when your good for nothing mother left you here with me for your life."

"It's... it's not what you think." I tried to explain, but Maia hit me hard in the face.

"Do you think you can bring shame and disgrace to us? Think again, young woman." She yelled, and they dragged me to the car, sitting me at the back with tears rolling down my eyes as they drove back to the palace.

My head was blank, and I didn't know what to think about. I would actually be in very big trouble with both of them once they knew I was pregnant after a one-night stand.

"I told you before you took her in, Connor. We shouldn't have helped her mother that night when she came crying to us to help her daughter." I heard Maia say like I wasn't in the car at all.

They never failed to show me they hated me, and I meant nothing to them. I was just a charity case because my mother had asked them for help to keep me safe from the witches of her coven and for everyone not to know I'm a witch's daughter.

The car stopped in front of the palace, and Maia grabbed me, pushing me out of the car. Alpha Alexis and Casey were already sitting in the drawing room as Maia pushed me to the floor before sitting next to her husband.

"Who is the father of that thing you placed in you?" Alpha Alexis asked, and I laid there, my lips trembling and blood rolling from my nose. "I do not like repeating myself, woman." He thundered, and the nearby maid dropped the vase in her hand due to fright.

I knew it would be more punishment once I told them I did not know the father of my child. I only slept with a random guy who left me money after taking my innocence.

"I cannot believe you would actually even think of bringing disgrace to this family. Even though you're just a maid," Alpha Connor said.

"I… I don't know who the father is." I said, and the whole room went quiet for a whole two minutes before I heard footsteps approaching me. Alpha Alexis grabbed my hair, making me look up at him. I could see the anger and disgust in his expression.

"What did she just say?" He asked Alpha Connor, who equally looked irritated and angry. "You got pregnant by a man you don't know? When did she even get this man? How did she get this man? Who on earth will be the one to sleep with a weak omega like you?"

Before he completed his words, I hit him hard. I froze. I didn't mean to do that, and my body just moved on its own. Everyone who witnessed me hit him looked stunned as he cleaned his lips. Casey hurriedly rushed over to him, checking his face to see if he was fine.

My hands shook, and I knew it was my end. It was all his fault. If he had never shown up that night, me getting pregnant from a one-night stand would never have been here now.

"It's all your fault!" I screamed.

"Why do you have to be in my life? Why do you have to come into it in the first place?"
